We offer two kinds of lymphatic drainage massage (LDM):
Simply Lymph Drainage and POST-OP Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is exactly what it sounds like, a massage specifically focused on the lymphatic system which maintains the body’s fluid balance, blood circulation, immune mechanisms, and helps eliminate waste from the body. LDM is intended to stimulate and encourage the natural movement of the lymph system with gentle, rhythmic and constant movements that mimic the rhythm of the body’s lymphatic system.
Anyone can benefit from a LDM to get your lymphatic system really flowing! Whether you just want a boost to your system or are experiencing a "clogged" system causing swelling or have recently had a procedure/surgery.
What to expect:
Your therapist will use a series of gliding, compressing, stretching, and cupping motions over your body across your lymphatic system. These light rhythmic movements stimulate the lymphatic system without compressing the vessels – allowing lymph fluid to move easily through the tissues and lymph nodes. The goal of the entire process is to "empty" out your lymph nodes.
To get your lymph system flowing (NOT POST-OP):
book a Simply Lymph Drainage Massage with Rachael D, Irina, or Jenn
If you have had a procedure/surgery:

POST-OP Lymphatic Drainage Massage FAQ:
Q: Who needs POST-OP Lymphatic Drainage Massage? |
A: Anyone who has recently undergone surgery and has a doctors approval to receive bodywork. |
Q: Why do I need a LDM post-op? |
A: Oftentimes after surgery, your body will swell with excessive edema both at and proximal to the surgical site. This post-operative swelling, while completely normal, can be quite uncomfortable. Sluggishness, decreased range of motion, increased sensitivity, inability to sleep comfortably, and an overall feeling of puffiness can often occur during the surgical recovery process. LDM will assist in getting your lymph system flowing properly to reduce your swelling and increase your comfort as well as help you receive your best results from surgery. |
Q: How soon after surgery should I book an appointment? |
A: Check with your doctor - many often recommend as early as possible, ideally within the first few day’s post-surgery. The number of appointments you need can also vary. |
